Rio Ferdinand once let it slip that he and a few Manchester united players watch rugby league games and I’m sure that some of them have been at grand finals..

Manchester United players have a history of watching Wigan. As someone else mentioned, Keane, Giggs and several of the early-mid 90s United squad used to frequent Central Park, and I'm sure that relationship has lingered until today. I rememer meeting Keane at an airline bash back in the mid-90s and we talked about Wigan for a while. He even bought me a beer!
Rooney once made an infamous statement - when asked what he thought of England's performance in the 2007 RWC, he said "I haven't seen it. I've been watching the rugby league." |

The United teams from the 60s and 70s would often watch Salford. City players from that era too. |

That's the bloke and I have seen him at quite a few games, not at LSV but could be in a different stand etc |

The guy from Dinnerladies is a Bulls fan, and also isn't paid to attend.
